Paisley brings bluegrass to Palace Danbury

Updated 8:11 pm, Thursday, April 10, 2014

DANBURY -- Danny Paisley has the edge. You can hear it in his voice, in his band and in his choice of song. It's an edge forged in a time and region where bluegrass was as likely to be heard in honky-tonks and saloons as in schoolhouses and town squares.

Danny Paisley and The Southern Grass perform in Danbury on Saturday. They plan to deliver their powerful music at The Palace Danbury.

Paisley has been carrying on for his father -- the late, legendary Bob Paisley -- since 2004. He leads the band with his singing and guitar. With him are Doug Meek on fiddle, Mark Delaney on banjo, Eric Troutman on bass, and now, a third-generation Paisley, his young son Ryan on mandolin.
